Equipment
- 1 6 qt or larger Slow Cooker
Ingredients
For the soup:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb sausage
- ½ onion diced
- 1 Tbsp garlic minced
- 46 oz marinara sauce your favorite brand or homemade
- 4 cups beef or chicken broth divided
- 12 oz lasagna noodles
For the topping:
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Brown the meat: In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and sausage together. Drain any excess grease and add the mixture to your slow cooker.
- Build the base: Add in diced onion and minced garlic, then pour in marinara sauce and 2 cups of beef broth. Stir everything together.
- Slow cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours until the flavors have melded beautifully.
- Add the noodles: Break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and stir them in. If needed, add the remaining beef or chicken stock to cover the noodles and get the consistency you want for your soup. Cover and cook on high for 30–45 minutes, until noodles are tender.
- Make the cheese topping: In a small bowl, mix together ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Serve and enjoy: Spoon the soup into bowls, top with a generous dollop of the cheese mixture, and sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley.
Notes
🧀 Don’t skip the cheese topping! It’s what gives that signature lasagna flavor and creamy texture.
🍅 Use quality marinara. Since it’s the flavor base, pick one you love.
🍝 Watch your noodles. Add them toward the end so they don’t overcook and get mushy.
🥣 Make it ahead. The flavors deepen overnight, making this a perfect next-day meal.
